Cutting, storing and delivering ice was an important busi- ness providing cold-weather employment for a labor force that might otherwise be idle when demand for summer agricultural workers ended.
Catawba Island had two commercial ice houses; one near the site of the present Miller Ferry Dock, and one where the Catawba Island Club is now located. In addi- tion, each of the fish companies had its own ice refrigera- tion facilities and local families sometimes shared smaller ones for personal use.
“We often forget things like serving an ice cold bever- age 150 years ago were remarkable tributes to ingenuity and hard work”, said Connie Batterton, Museum Curator. “Thanks to photographs and explanatory material on loan to us from the Hayes Presidential Museum in Fremont, and a collection of Medieval–looking paraphernalia with names like tongs, pikes, spuds and splitters, we can put that accomplishment into proper perspective. The Histor- ical Society’s Catawba Museum at Union Chapel is defi- nitely be an educational and entertaining place to ‘chill out’ this summer!”
Catawba Island Historical Society was born in a log house nestled behind the Ottawa City General Store at the junction of NW Catawba Road and E. Porter Street.
The recently renovated Union Chapel is now open as an Historical Society Museum.
The owner of the General Store and log house, local his- torian Don Rhodes, had invited several friends one fall evening to advise them he was closing the store perma- nently. He took that occasion to also ask for help relo- cating historical treasures he had collected and displayed there for decades.

Zion Church Continued from page 5
church was known as the Community Church. When the Evangelical Association and the United Brethren Church united in 1946, Zion Church became part of that larger communion. In 1950, the church became a member of the Ohio Sandusky Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Church. In 1968 the EUB united with the Methodist Church and in 1973, the church on Kelleys Island became known officially as the Zion United Meth- odist Church.
Despite being a small congregation, Zion Church has fostered at least seven young men who have entered the ministry and continues to have a vital and supportive outreach on the island. Current programs include, among others, a welcoming program for summer student workers which incorporates a bicycle loan program to help them get around, Vacation Bible School, a prayer shawl minis- try by the Christian Crafters, church meals and evening games during the winter months, and weekly Bible study.
